As Manager, Strategy & Business Development, you will support DAZN's commercial strategy across our U.S. sports portfolio, with a particular focus on our expansion into the regional sports space. You will play a hands-on role across financial modelling, deal analysis, strategic planning, and cross-functional execution. You'll help build the materials, models, and analyses that inform high-stakes commercial decisions-and increasingly take ownership of discrete workstreams. If you're analytical and entrepreneurial with a passion for media and sport, this is a unique opportunity to grow into a senior commercial role at a global disruptor.

Salary Range: $100,000 - $190,000

  • Support strategy and commercial analysis across DAZN's U.S. regional sports business
  • Build and maintain financial models to evaluate rights opportunities, deal economics, and business performance
  • Conduct pricing and packaging analyses and assist in developing recommendations for senior stakeholders
  • Track and report on business performance, identifying trends and surfacing areas for cross-functional improvement
  • Assist in the preparation of materials for rightsholders, partners, and external negotiations
  • Support development of executive and board-level presentations
  • Contribute to strategic and financial assessment of new rights opportunities, including deal term analysis and onboarding support
  • Work with product and other cross-functional teams to help define roadmap priorities based on commercial inputs
  • Assist in evaluating M&A and partnership opportunities, including initial due diligence and deal structuring support
  • Monitor emerging trends in the sports media and streaming landscape and synthesize insights for internal use


What You'll Bring:
  • 3-6 years of experience in a Tier 1 Strategy Consulting firm, Investment Banking, or in-house Strategy/Corporate Development team
  • Strong proficiency with PowerPoint and Excel, including financial modelling and data analysis
  • Experience with strategic analytical frameworks, including market analysis, scenario planning, financial forecasting, and go-to-market assessments
  • Ability to distill complex data into clear, concise insights and communicate effectively across departments and functions
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with comfort operating in cross-functional environments
  • Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively as part of a team
  • An interest in and understanding of the sports and broader media industries


Benefits

Benefits include access to DAZN, up to 15 days of paid time off and 9 days of annual leave, health benefits (including dental & eye care) and a generous sick time package as well as short and long-term disability covering, parental leave offering, personal insurances, such as basic life term and personal accident and access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
